Collection 1947-62

• Track Listing

Starting off as a rockabilly singer and DJ in Kentucky, Jimmie Skinner reeled off a string of hits from the late ’40s to early ’60s—hits that saw him stick to his down-home country guns even as the lush Nashville Sound came to dominate the airwaves. These 57 prime A- and B-sides on Red Barn, Radio Artists, Capitol, Decca and Mercury include his hits "Tennessee Border," "I Found My Girl in the USA," "What Makes a Man Wander," "Walkin’ My Blues Away," "Dark Hollow," "John Wesley Hardin," "Riverboat Gambler," "Lonesome Road Blues," "Reasons to Live," his takes on "’Tis Sweet to Be Remembered," "Don’t Get Around Much Anymore" and more!
